Perovskite solar cells offer high efficiency & low cost, but complex structures limit modeling. A new Python simulator ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as promising alternative for next generation photovoltaics due to their superior power conversion efficiencies (record currently at 34.9% for ...

For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called ...

It was April 2006, and the mood was celebratory at Napa Valley College. A crowd had assembled to toast the school’s new solar field — 5,600 photovoltaic panels arranged in neat rows across 5 acres of ...

Tesla announced that it started to produce its own new solar panel at Gigafactory New York in Buffalo. The first deliveries are expected in Q1 2026. After years of neglecting its solar business, Tesla ...

A wind-swept solar panel flew off a Brooklyn carport, striking a woman in the head and leaving her dead, city investigators ruled Monday. The large panel, roughly 3-feet by 7-feet, came off its frame ...

On the Tibetan Plateau, nearly 10,000 feet high, solar panels stretch to the horizon and cover an area seven times the size of Manhattan. They soak up sunlight that is much brighter than at sea level ...

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar farms become more common, so do the invisible defects that compromise ...

Cleaning your panels once or twice a year can keep them in top shape. Always turn off your panels before cleaning them. Know where your solar array's DC shut-off is, and know/learn the procedure for ...

Scientists have found that a dye made from red onion skin extract, combined with nanocellulose, offers a 99.9% protection rate against UV rays for solar cells. This bio-filter material outperforms ...

New research from IBM and NASA has used AI to power a new and improved simulation of the Sun's activity, allowing marked improvements in the prediction of solar activity. The project, called Surya, is ...

Energy-starved countries on the continent have reluctantly turned to coal and gas for decades. Cheap Chinese solar panels are now finally changing the calculus. In May 2025, African countries imported ...
